Crossword Genius

Celebrate destiny, by the sound of it (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fete

'celebrate' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'destiny by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'destiny' becomes 'fate' (synonyms).
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'fate' is a homophone of 'FETE'.

(Other definitions for fete that I've seen before include "Elaborate outdoor party" , "Charity garden party" , "Entertain regally" , "Festival event" , "Outdoor get-together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
